Lead On, O King Eternal
Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff, 1862-1917 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 397 hymnals Topics: Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness; Heaven; Jesus Christ His Cross; Kingdom; Light; Peace; Christian Pilgrimage; Sin; Victory; Christian warfare Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King Eternal,
The day of march has come!
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home;
Thru days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King Eternal,
We lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing
Nor roll of stirring drums-
With deeds of love and mercy
The heav'nly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King Eternal,
We follow– not with fears!
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us-
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest-
Lead on, O God of might. Scripture: Isaiah 48:17 Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
Lead On, O King Eternal

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech than angels use;
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell,
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store,
To feed the bowels of the poor;
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name:
4 If love to God, and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal
The work of love can e'er fulfil.
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews

Love to the Brethren
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,273 hymnals Topics: Christian Graces First Line: Blest be the tie, that binds Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie, that binds
Our hearts in Christian love!
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain:
But we shall still be join'd in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
Love to the Brethren
Retirement and Meditation
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Christian Graces First Line: Return, my roving heart, return Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return,
And chase these shadowy forms no more;
Seek out some solitude to mourn,
And thy forsaken God implore.
2 Wisdom and pleasure dwell at home;
Retir'd and silent seek them there:
This is the way to overcome,
The way to break the tempter's snare.
3 And thou, my God, whose piercing eye
Distinct surveys each deep recess,
In these abstracted hours draw nigh,
And with thy presence fill the place.
4 Through the mazes of my heart,
My search let heav'nly wisdom guide;
And still its radiant beams impart,
Till all be search'd and purified.
5 Then with the visits of thy love
Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer;
Till ev'ry grace shall join to prove,
That God hath fixed his dwelling there.

Fruits of Love
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Christian Graces First Line: Let Pharisees of high esteem Lyrics: 1 Let Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare:
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.
2 Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provok'd in haste;
She lets the present inj'ry die,
And long forgets the past.
3 Malice and rage, those fires of hell,
She quenches with her tongue;
Hopes and believes and thinks no ill,
Tho' she endure the wrong.
4 She ne'er desires nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time;
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those that climb.
5 She lays her own advantage by,
To seek her neighbor's good;
So God's own Son came down to die,
And save us by his blood.
6 Love is the grace that keeps her pow'r
In all the realms above;
There faith and hope are known no more,
But saints forever love.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13
